What cha eating today, VSGers? - Wednesday

Hi all,

I hope you are all well and happy and enjoying the winter weather.  In New England, we've been lucky - not much snow - lots of rain.  And today we have a dusting of snow but it is windy!  So I'm going to cuddle up with a book and a cup of tea! (the joys of being retired.)

Breakfast - stuffed green peppers  (ran out of salmon -  )

Lunch - crustless cheeseburger quiche

dinner - buffalo chicken

snack - green bean casserole

vitamins - like clockwork!

water - ok

exercise - still trying to keep my fitbit steps/day between 6,000 and 8,000.  I don't know how people get over 10,000! - and much higher!  I'm impressed.

So what cha eating today?

B:  steel cut oats

S:  hummus and a few pretzels

L:  maybe a chopped salad or tapas (going out)

D:  chicken

S:  NOT having ice cream tonight (I'm trying to convince myself as much as anyone else).

E:  doubtful - maybe a short walk

V:  doing ok

L:  doing ok

I aim for 10,000 steps but you really have to take a walk to get to that - and as you know, Carol...it's cold here!

Today marks three days in a row with snow fall! Winter has been super mild so I won't complain!

B: Cottage Cheese

S: Cheese Stick

L: Left Over Turkey chili

D: Perch & Green Beans

S: Blue Cheese and Cranberries

E - RUN RUN RUN

W & V - On track

B: Syntrax/Click/coffee shake

S: Quest BBQ protein chips

L:  Sesame honey shredded chicken & broccoli

S:  Oikos toasted coconut greek yogurt

D:  something from Swiss Chalet (dinner with my dad)

V:  on track

W:  on track

E:  plan on walking to dinner tonight (5km)

Pretty good day. Trying to endure the severe winter weather here in Nicaragua. 

B: Fresh fruit, almond milk

L: Scrambled eggs, fresh papaya

D: Hard-cooked egg, small side of spaghetti, papaya

W&V: On track

E: 3-mile walk; 15-minute swim

Cappy, I found with walking that the slower I walk, the farther I can go. If I try to go too fast, I tire out before I can accumulate many steps on the fitbit. The heat here is also keeping me from increasing my rate -- I would melt trying to get an aerobic affect going. My swim is more vigorous and easier on my joints.

thanks for the suggestion. But I find not that I run out of stamina.  I get bored.  So I walk fast, and do as much as I can in the time I walk.  I listen to the radio while I walk and that helps... but I still get bored...

I'm leaving for Australia in a little less than 2 weeks, and I can't wait to be in the heat.

best wishes,

Carol

Struggle bus today. Due to surgery, I can't eat during school hours- just stick to 1 isopure and try to get 1 shake down. Can't eat much too, so try to make it to 1200 cals by bedtime. Tonight, a parent decided to come an hour late to pick up there cutie from the club I sponsor after school, so now not enough time to try to up the cals. Ugh.

Click 1 shake

Chicken 3 ounces or so (no fat, ground, seasoned)

Hoping to get a little yogurt down before bed
